Site Features That Work For You

First and Foremost

Selecting the right dating site is a daunting task no matter if your plus size or otherwise. The biggest thing to consider first is the amount of information that is offered before joining and parting with your hard earned cash.

You need to know how the sites differ from each other and what features they offer. How they can be utilized for your best experience. Is there additional costs? Then and only then can you make a truly informed decision prior to spending the time of creating a well thought out personals ad.

This is something that you don't want to go through just to quit and say I wish I knew more.

That is why at Curvybbwdating.com we put it on the line first. We want you to be happy and successful. Most importantly, we respect your time and energy spent on your relationship quest.

Plus, most dating sites don't spell it out like we are about to. We are unique with our focus on who you can trust by maintaining our transparency with you.

Without any further ado, lets get into...

The Nitty Gritty

The heart of the members area has four key components that we have listed below. These features are located under the “Home” tab on the toolbar once you are signed in.

The top of the page is the “New Members” area displaying fifteen photos of local singles. Below this...

On the left side you have “Your Latest Emails” in order from most recent to oldest.

Just to the right of your latest emails is the “Flirt Box”.

Along the bottom “Your New Matches” – Complete with profile links and photos of members that are near you. Matched by the criteria that you set in your personal preferences.

How to Find Local Singles

Search Options:

There are three search types available on the left-hand side of the members home page located just below the “Become VIP Member” area.

First Search By Screen Name - Returning visitors love this feature.

Second is Quick Search. You can search by gender, age, build and country. These first two search options are your standard options as a trial member. The site automatically shows you local singles that are near you.

You can make your search more specific with zip code / post code and region (state/province) but these search options are only available if you are a paid member.

Thirdly, Advanced Search allows you to specify interests and criteria that will help you find exactly who you are looking for. There are twenty one (21) subcategories in addition to the quick search options to refine your search to find the match you seek. It ranges from languages, education and even to facial hair. For the men of course!

The Toolbar - Main Navigation

The “Profile Tab” is for all your personal details but more importantly is where you can upload a video. If you choose to do a video personals ad you will definitely stand out above the crowd.

The “Browse Tab” has all the latest updates for New members, Online members, Latest Matches, VIP's, Admirers, Favourites, Visitors and Blocked Members. Be the first to send your greetings to singles who are serious about dating.

A couple key areas you will want to keep an eye on under the browse tab.

VIP's – commonly regarded as serious date seekers. They want to be discovered and taken seriously.

Admirers – the digital equivalent of whispering sweet somethings. Did you hear it? I think it was... Hello!

Favorites – this allows you to keep the ones you like close by.

Visitors – strike while the iron is hot! Contact them while you are still fresh in their mind.

Blocked – a useful feature if you need to restrict who can contact you.

Chat Tab - Our easy to use chat program creates an instant connection between you and other members. You can see who is live on the site and voice chat, video chat, or just use the instant messaging with them. Whichever you're more comfortable with.

We have created a unique feature called “chat later” that allows you to store chat requests in your chat history if you want to concentrate just on browsing the site. You can always see how many people are waiting to chat with you on the chat toolbar menu.

Inbox - All communications with members of the site are stored in your secure on-site mailbox. You can easily view your winks, received, sent and deleted messages. This is useful if you have long communications with a few of your friends at the same time.
